I had huge respect for Younis Khan – the player, fighter, captain and more than anything someone who wanted to take the Pakistani cricket establishment head on. That has now become a story of the past, why ?

He has just proven that he is another average politician from the subcontinent. He has told the press that in spite of him not being fully fit in the finger. Younis justified this bravado by invoking Sachin Tendulkar and his cameo during the 2003 world cup against Pakistan.

So, what is wrong with his intentions ?

Why am I being so harsh on a brave Pathan ?

If his team wins and / or he scores some runs, then he would emerge a brave warrior who went to war without a finger and made a name for him. A la, Ekalavya of Mahabaratha fame.

If Pakistan indeed loses, like how the history points, then Younis becomes a martyr. A man who would soon be recommended for a Nishan-e-Haider, and retired.
